CompFox AI Summary
This case involves applicant Ramon Arce's petition for reconsideration after the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board (WCAB) denied his claims for two separate dates of injury. The WCAB adopted the findings of the Workers' Compensation Administrative Law Judge (WCJ), denying reconsideration. The WCJ found that Arce's July 6, 2011, right knee injury was not work-related, based on conflicting testimony and medical records indicating the injury occurred at home and was related to playing soccer. Furthermore, the WCJ found the January 9, 2012, slip and fall injury to be self-inflicted, based on witness testimony suggesting Arce intentionally fell to pursue a claim. The WCAB gave great weight to the WCJ's credibility findings and denied the petition.
